THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1940 "5- THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS MACON IAN PAGE SEVEN Improved SUNDAY Uniform II prTTr:rk lntematioml SCHOOL LESSON By HAROLD L. LUNDOUIST, D D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. . (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for March 17 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. CALVARY: TRIUMPH THROUGH SACRIFICE LESSON TEXT Matthew 27:33-50. GOLDEN TEXT He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief. Isaiah 53:3. At Calvary, reverent and thought ful readers of God's Word stand speechless, and confess themselves to be powerless to explain or to ex pound the awe-inspiring story, and yet just because it is such a story, because on that cross the divine Son of God gave Himself in sacrificial atonement for sin, we must do our utmost to understand it, to explain it, and certainly to declare it to all mankind. For when He who knew no sin became sin for us, it was for our sin that He died. Here alone do we find redemption. We approach this scene therefore with reverence, and with the prayer that we may so present the dying Saviour to dying men that some may believe and be saved. We center our thoughts' around three expressions taken from the text. L "They Crucified Him." All of the gospel stories are re markably reticent when they speak of the cross. Details of surround ing events are' given, but when they speak of the cross itself, they con only say that He was crucified. Let us look at the One who hung on that sacred tree, for He is the Sa viour of the world, Refusing the stupefying potion (v. 34) and facing death fully conscious, we hear Him crying out of the darkness which covered all the land, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" That cry indicates the depth to which our Saviour went for us. Does it not seem that the Father in that darkest moment of history turned His back upon the One who knowing no sin Himself had become sin for us? And yet we know that it was God who hung upon the tree, God the Son. Here is divine mys tery, the meaning of which we can not fathom, but we know that it was for us. Then came the cry with the loud voice, "It is finished!" This was ! not the death- of the languishing martyr. The Son of God, having wrought out redemption on the cross, cried out in powerful tones of victory, "It is finished!" and yielded up His spirit, n. "They Watched Him." CMIaps nriacta ttto turn thljtvpfi. the .women how different was the purpose and the spirit of their watching. The soldiers had made sport of Him and mocked Him in the palace. They took a passing curious interest In the crucifixion. They gambled over His garments, and finally set tled, down to perform their duty as guards with stolid indifference. How much of humanity is Just like that! ' The priests who professed to know bout God and His Word stand out In appalling wickedness and ignor ance. Being members of the high est and noblest of callings, they fell when they sinned to the lowest depths. Of the two thieves, one believed and the other railed at our Lord it nVa 93-sq. 4M- Tha cross has ever since been the dividing line, part of humanity turning there to life eternal, the rest going on its railing way to destruction. The women waited. No doubt they were perplexed and troubled in heart, but they stood faithfully by until His precious body was in the grave. We read of no apostle who did as much, and we give all honor to the faithful women. III. "He Trusted In God." This was the sarcastic taunt of the priests. "When the King was banging upon the cross and the in terpreters of religion, the priests, misinterpreted God, there was a great silence. God's noninterfer ence is the first thing that impresses one as the story is read, but that it not all the story. It was not wholly noninterference. . Trom the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.' That seems to have been the act of God. It would seem that in in finite tenderness God wrapped the land in darkness in the hour of His Son's supreme suffering" (G. Camp bell Morgan). We also read in versa ?1 that the veil of the temple was torn from top to bottom, opening the way for all men in Christ to enter the Holy of Holies. "He trusted God." Yes, even -to the sacrifice of Himself in death. Because He could not save Himself (v. 42) in thus doing the will of God the Father, He did save others. Thr scoffing priests told the truth in spite of their wicked purpose to falsify. "They crucified Him," "they watched Him," but "Ha trusted God" and became the Saviour of the world. Hew Great and Hew Wondrous How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! His king dom is an everlasting kingdom, and bit dominion is from generation to generation. Daniel 4:1. Fence Posts Should Be Cut At This Time W. J, Barker, assistant exten sion forester at State college, urges farmers to take advantage of the remaining time before the press of spring work to replace decayed fence posts arid .to cut posts to fence in areas not heretofore en closed. ., "North, Carolina forests offer sev eral durable species of trees adapt ed to fence posts without treat ment. such as black locust, red cedar, bald cypress, red mulberry, and Catalpa, Barker declared. However, for farmers who have exhausted these trees from, their woodlands' and must resort to less durable species, the extension for ester recommends a preservative treatment. "Even the least durable woods can be made to last from 15 years up if properly creosoted," he said. Briefly, Barker's recommenda tions for treating fence posts' with creosote are : First, have the wood peeled clean and thoroughly . dry. Then place the posts on end in a boiler containing creosote oil and boil for two hours. Posts should be in the oil to a depth of six inches deeper than they will stand in the ground and upon removal from, boiler, the entire post should be placed in a tank of cold creo sote oil and allowed to remain for two hours.' Very satisfactory results j have been obtained from using zinc chloride as a preservative, the spe cialist stated. This process is much quicker because green pasts are used; .In fact, the sooner the posts are used after cutting the better. An old inner tube and a supply of the preservative are, used in this process.
